As I stated in my answer - I was just quoting the notes brought in the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch with Piskei R. Mordechai Eliahu.. if you have that book - you could see it for yourself

I believe you, but this seems more like an answer about differences between the Kitzur and the Ben Ish Chai than one about Sephardim vs Ashkenazim.

The same is true for bagels. I'll try to look up sources later but this has to do with what constitutes motzi v. mezonot. In essence, it has to do with what % (any, or >50%) of a food is breadlike.
